-## Highlights
-
-### Fixed
-
-- **YouTube Background Cache:** Fixed Windows background media cache startup for YouTube URLs opened directly in mpv.
-  - Resolved stream URLs are now tracked even when mpv still exposes the original YouTube playlist entry.
-  - Queued Anki media updates can append audio and images after the cache finishes instead of staying text-only.
-
-- **YouTube Subtitle Picker Notifications:** Manual subtitle picker requests now show immediate status while SubMiner probes tracks and opens the modal.
-  - Subtitle download progress is replaced with a transient success notification after tracks load.
-
-## What's Changed
-
-- feat(youtube): notify on manual picker open and show success after track load by @ksyasuda in #133
-- fix(youtube): recover source URL for background media cache on direct mpv open by @ksyasuda in #132
-
-## Installation
-
-See the README and docs/installation guide for full setup steps.
-
-## Assets
-
-- Linux: `SubMiner.AppImage`
-- macOS: `SubMiner-*.dmg` and `SubMiner-*.zip`
-- Windows: `SubMiner-*.exe` and `SubMiner-*-win.zip`
-- Optional extras: `subminer-assets.tar.gz` and the `subminer` launcher
-
-Note: the `subminer` wrapper script uses Bun (`#!/usr/bin/env bun`), so `bun` must be installed and on `PATH`.
